on 15 September 2015.

There are an estimated 14 million ‘grey fleet’ vehicles in the UK, but 56% of fleet managers with colleagues who drive their own cars on business say their organisation never physically check the roadworthiness of those vehicles.

That’s one of the key findings of ‘The 2015 Lex Autolease Report on Company Motoring’, which discovered that the ‘grey’ fleet remains a major management issue for many organisations.
